Yes.
One million.
Even for a senior military officer like Zhang Weimin, it was not a small expense.
Zhang Weimin had even applied to the military for special funds.
But, how could this sum be approved?
Report to the leaders, saying that Hua Rong Industrial, a private company, had produced military robots that could crush the world?
And this combat robot, named the Phantom Power Mech, was invented by a "folk scientist" named Meng Hao, who was unknown and had never been invited to any scientific forums?
If this report were submitted.
He feared that the military bigwigs would question his mental state.
If that were the case, even after his leave was over and he returned to the army, he would not be retired from front-line flying duty, but would be directly asked to retire from active service early and report directly to a mental hospital.
Seeing his parents in a difficult situation.
It was Zhang Xiqin who solved the problem for them.
"Dad, didn't you say before that there was someone who called me a goddess..."
"His name is Lin Hecheng, and by chance, he grabbed a mech in Meng Hao's live stream. It will be delivered in three days..."
"Chen Kun told him that I was extremely fond of mechs, so he changed the delivery method of contact with Hua Rong Industrial's operations department to mine..."
"As long as you agree, I will report your relevant information to Hua Rong Industrial's operations department, and then have that mech delivered to our location..."
Oh?
There's such a good thing?
Zhang Weimin was somewhat overjoyed.
He saw his daughter speaking a little hesitantly and realized that his daughter was afraid that he would misunderstand her having an early romance and scold Zhang Xiqin.
However.
Even at the risk of being scolded, she still told Zhang Weimin the situation truthfully, which showed that her father's position in her heart was quite high.
Zhang Weimin was very happy.
He really didn't raise this daughter in vain.
As expected of a little padded jacket in the biting cold winter.
"Okay, we will accept this power mech for now..."
"After the military's top scientific research experts have analyzed and studied it, I will apply to the financial budget department for monetary compensation and transfer it to him..."
"Daughter, you've helped your dad a lot with this... However, he's giving a gift worth millions, you should at least thank him... No matter how rich his family is, if he gives you a gift, you should be polite..."
Seeing her father very happy.
Zhang Xiqin immediately smiled cheerfully.
As for thanking Lin Hecheng?
Give me a break!
To thank a simp for giving a gift?
Wouldn't that make the goddess lose face?
Besides.
Zhang Xiqin wasn't going to return the money for this mech to him in the future.
You should know.
On Taowang Network's second-hand seafood platform, there were plenty of new gifts from "simps"!
...
Three days later.
Qiongzhou Island Resort Base.
Zhang Xiqin, as usual, was scrolling through her phone and tablet, ignoring the sun and beach outside.
And her father, who usually nagged endlessly, did not educate her at all.
He even sent her a red envelope of over 10,000 yuan, telling her to buy whatever electronics she liked.
He also repeatedly told her that if she wanted to buy skin care products or cosmetics for girls, she should just ask, and she could get additional financial assistance.
He even said that although his daughter was only in her first year of university, if she met a suitable boy, she could try to get to know him.
For example, someone like Meng Hao!
Good heavens.
Zhang Weimin was planning to use a honey trap, turning his daughter into a sugar-coated bait to trap Meng Hao.
Regarding this.
Zhang Xiqin did not object.
After all.
A male god like Meng Hao indeed met her requirements for a boyfriend and perfectly fulfilled all her fantasies.
"Zhang Xiqin, come and eat some fruit. The fruit from Qiongzhou Island is really good..."
"Also, call your dad to come and eat fruit. A human in his forties is like a netizen, glued to the computer all day..."
Zhang Xiqin's mother, holding a plate of assorted cut fruits, brought them to the dining table.
As expected.
Only the greedy daughter, Zhang Xiqin, ran over like a馋猫, not even washing her hands, and grabbed the fruits and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Mom, stop yelling, Dad's eyes have been glued to the computer these past few days..."
"But, I have a way to 'summon' him, do you believe me..."
Seeing her mother's unconvinced, playful smile, Zhang Xiqin turned her head and shouted at Zhang Weimin, who was engrossed in his computer in the study.
"Dad..."
"The mech has arrived..."
Crackling.
A messy sound of overturned tables and chairs came from the study.
Zhang Weimin, who hadn't brushed his teeth or washed his face on time for days, appeared.
Looking at her father (husband) with greasy hair, stubble, and dark circles under his eyes.
Zhang Xiqin and her mother were amused and speechless.
Was this still the meticulous, highly self-disciplined Colonel of the Air Force and ace fighter pilot of J Province, Zhang Weimin?
He looked more like a disheveled vagrant.
"The mech has arrived?"
"Where is it?"
"These past few days, I've been watching the pictures and videos, and I couldn't eat or sleep!"
Aside from the immense value of the Phantom Power Mech produced by Hua Rong Industrial to the national security and military research fields of Great Xia,
As an ace aerial combat pilot, Zhang Weimin also longed to personally control this power mech, which had already been praised as a mechanical war god by the Great Xia military fan circle.
After all.
For any male animal.
The charm of a mech is irresistible... Well, except for simps who only know how to fawn over goddesses, with their mating hormones bursting and their sperm swirling!
Although Zhang Weimin was over forty, his surging heart still belonged to a teenager.
A man, a boy until death!
Looking at the table full of fruits and the mother and daughter looking at him playfully.
The fire in Zhang Weimin's eyes extinguished.
It seemed like his daughter was playing a trick on him!
Just as he was about to return to the study dejectedly.
Zhang Xiqin waved her phone in front of him.
"Dad, the logistics company just called!"
"There's a large package about to be delivered."
"We need to be ready to receive it!"
Huh?
Is it true?
Zhang Weimin hugged his daughter and showered her with kisses, making Zhang Xiqin's pretty, tender face full of saliva.
"I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face. I'll clean myself up."
"It'll be quick."
"Later, we'll go and sign for the mech together!"
Seeing Zhang Weimin disappear into the bathroom, the mother and daughter exchanged a knowing smile.
Zhang Weimin was probably the most diligent he had been in the past few days.
However.
As women.
The two of them truly couldn't understand.
It's just picking up a mech, why do you need to brush your teeth and wash your face, and take a hot shower?
What kind of strange, damned sense of ritual is this!
Hmm.
Since you need to bathe and change clothes.
Do you need to burn incense and pray?!
Just as the mother and daughter were making fun of their father (husband),
Zhang Weimin reappeared, having changed into a form-fitting bodysuit.
Uh.
In less than ten minutes, he had finished showering, brushing his teeth, washing his face, shaving, and changing clothes?!... He even went to the bathroom to empty his body's excess waste!
Looking at the dew on Zhang Weimin's hair.
The same question that exists in the minds of all women simultaneously popped into the minds of the mother and daughter.
How can men complete all their personal cleaning tasks in 10 minutes?!
